Chapter 6

Kenshin walked out of Kaoru's house. She wasn't interested in him anymore. She wanted to be with Seta and he should just accept that. He walked a little farther away before turning back and looking at the house. God, maybe he should be with Hana.

--

"Seta!" Kaoru screamed, "What was that? You know that we are only friends!"

"I'm sorry Kaoru-san; I didn't mean to do that."

Kaoru crossed her arms across her chest, "Hmph!" She stood up with the dog in her arms. She walked towards the door and opened it for him.

"Go!" Kaoru squealed and Seta walked slowly out the door. Once he was outside, the door slammed behind him. So what if Kaoru was mad at him? At least he had driven Kenshin off.

--

Kaoru walked to school in silence, it was always like that. Seta was trailing along her, but didn't even attempt to say anything to her. She was going to talk to Kenshin and she was going to see what was going on. She needed to know if they were together or not. She looked around the school for Kenshin and walked up towards him.

"Kenshin, can I talk to you?" Kenshin looked over at Sano who just shrugged. Kenshin walked over to where Kaoru had moved too. She looked down at the ground.

"What is it?" Kenshin questioned.

"Where are we at?" Kaoru asked softly. He looked at her then looked around at the people who were moving into school.

"What do you mean?"

"Are we together or not because I saw you yesterday with that other girl and it was just so confusing-"

"Well I saw you with Seta!" Kenshin said defensively and Kaoru placed her hands on her hips and looked up. She shook her head.

"That was all him… I pushed him away and I just want to figure out what's going on before I do anything."

"Kaoru, I don't know." Kenshin shook his head, "How can I trust you?"

"How can I trust you? You were the one with Hana."

Kenshin looked over at Misao, "That was all Hana." Kaoru threw up her arms.

"Make up your mind! Do you want to be with me or not?"

"I don't want to be with you Kaoru." Kenshin lied and looked down at the ground. He couldn't meet her eyes because he knew that she could tell that he was lying. She shifted nervously and then smiled slightly.

"Let's just forget everything that happened in that closet and go on with life." Kaoru said and Kenshin nodded.

"That sounds good."

"Okay… I won't be seeing you around." Kaoru said and then walked away from Kenshin. He looked after her and sighed. She was everything he ever wanted and he had sent her away. He walked over to Misao and Hana.

"You don't have to make her life a living hell anymore… I told her to go away." He said and grabbed Hana's hand. "So we can be together." Misao nodded in agreement.

"This is great! I'm so happy for you guys, you know that prom is in a week so… You can go together!" Misao rambled on about how her and Hana should get ready together. Kenshin looked over his shoulder at Kaoru who was talking to some freshmen and Seta. He was sure that he had made the right decision.

--

"Yeah… He dumped me." Kaoru said and sighed. She looked over to Seta. "I'm sorry about yesterday, but I just don't like you that way Seta."

He nodded, "It's alright Kaoru-san, we can just be friends."

"Thanks Seta."

"But I was wondering, if you don't have a date for the prom, may I take you?"

"You're asking me to go to prom with you?" Kaoru smiled, "That'd be great… I was really planning on not going, but since you asked me I'll be glad to go. It'll get my mind off of Kenshin." Tsubame nodded happily.

"That's great Kaoru! Too bad that freshmen can't go to the prom." Tsubame sighed, "Oh well, whatever." She joined hands with Yahiko and waved at them before walking into the school. Seta stayed with Kaoru and they walked into the school together. She was talking of getting a dress for prom or something. She said she was probably going to make it.

He just nodded, he was sure that he did the right thing with breaking up Kenshin and Kaoru.

--

The last few days for Kenshin had been pretty hard. He couldn't help but think of Kaoru and how she was going with Seta to the prom when she had assured him that she was not with him. He couldn't think about her though because he was with Hana now and they were getting ready for prom. They were out shopping together when they saw Kaoru walking around and picking up things here and there. She didn't look over at them and she didn't say a word to them when she passed. Kenshin wanted to say something, but knew that Hana would probably attack Kaoru.

"Kenshin, do you think this looks good on me?" Hana questioned and modeled a green dress that looked horrible on her. It was strapless and went down to her knees, it was shiny and she filled it out horribly. Kenshin just nodded. "I just love it and I think it looks pretty good… Maybe I should try on another one."

She went back into the dressing room and came out again. She was now in a red dress with white dots and it looked half-way decent on her. He didn't like it though; it would have looked nicer of Kaoru. "So what do you think darling?"

"It looks nice." Kenshin said and she squealed.

"I think this is the one."

"Okay, then let's get it." Hana quickly ran into the dressing room and got changed. She paid for the dress and they walked around before sitting down in a café.

"So are you excited for prom?" Hana questioned and sipped her drink.

"Yeah of course," Kenshin said and smiled, "It's going to be so much fun."

"I know and it's in three days and I just cannot wait!" Kenshin listened to her ramble on about how she was so excited while he looked for Kaoru in the crowd. She was walking with Seta and the two freshmen that he had seen her with before. She had her arm linked with Seta. He couldn't help but feel jealous of this.

He couldn't believe that he had given her up.
